AMERICAN men very gener ally accord womankind all the virtues of the rft.ee. They say women are. endowed with a keener perception of right and wrong, a quicker intuition of justice, greater regard for truth, and call attention to the fact that the larger per cent, of liigh school graduates year after year are girls. Now these same men are in con gress, state legislatures and city councils, where they can endow all degrees of executive power on women, and why is it that they accord so much ability in theory and grant so little exercise of it in the practical affairs of govern ment ; A keener perception of right and wrong brought to bear on questions of corporate as against individual interests would be of great value in many quar ters ; and a quicker intuition of the justice of the measure would enable legislatures to dispose of bills looking toward humanitarian ends with a saving of time, while a greater regard for truth would materially improve almost any public or private enterprise. There are grave questions con fronting this generation of men and women who have grown up since the war, requiring clear, high thinking and moral courage to settle. For instance, regula tions of public utilities, enforce ment of present and passage of better laws relating to rights of children, the problem of convert ing shiploads of immigrants to our ideal of citizenship, the ne gro, the treason of Utah, to say nothing of nice points of diplo macy in the relations with foreign countries. "Now if our chivalrous broth ers think woman so capable and worthy, why do they refuse her assistance Where is the con sistency in attributing ability and deny any play for its exercise Why not utilize this reserve of moral and inte'lectual power; " may be her arguments. The ordinary, matter-of-fact woman fails to comprehend but let her ever remember and cherish the fact that her Creator intended her for the home ; to bo mistress of her own domicile and mother to her offspring. — IN view of what is now known in regard to the situation at Ports month it is generally assumed that Japan made a great tacriiice in the peace treaty. It is certain that Japan might have got some indemity. The original demand would never have been met. Hut, as a matter of fact, Japan came off victorious, and time will show this to bo the ease. The wisdom of the mikado and his elder states men will be recognized in time. Japan might have continued the A\ar, but another year would La e cost upwards of §400,000,000, and at the end of that time, as suming that Japanese arms were victorious in Manchuria and at Vladivostok, the ledoubtable Rus sian would still bo protesting against indemnity. Hut by mak ing peace now this enormous ex pense is saved, the possibility of financial ruin is avertjd and Ja pan is in a position to take part in a great revival of industry that will soon wipe out all evidences of the war. Japan has done well. The attitude of the rabble toward the peacemakers represents only the first impulse of the people. The bishop of Kensington at n prize distribution recently tola of n case in which a boy got the better of the ex aminer. "Suppose," asked the exam iner, "I offered you half nn orange and two-thirds of an orange, which piece would you take?" "Plense, sir, the half!" shouted the lad. "Stupid boy!" exclaimed the examiner. "I shall put n black mark against you for that." Subsequently a deputation of scholars waited o» the examiner to convince him that lie was wrong. "Why am I wrong?" he Inquired. "Because Tom my does not like oranges at all," was the conclusive answer. * ~ At the Court of Rex By FANNIt HEASLIP LEA Otpifrtght, 1905, hu Fannie llcaxli\t Ijca "I am lost!" said the pretty maider. with a quaintly tragic air. She stood hack against the window of a big department store on Canal street and scanned the surging crowd before her. It was .Mardi Gras day in New Orleans, and the pretty maiden had been in town only three hours, two of which had been spent in a hotel. "I have iost my mother," she said again as if to Impress the fact upon herself—"aud my father"—then she added as nn afterthought, "and my purse." In the street the people crowded each other for more room, and there was a constant stream of maskers, gay dom inoed fellows with tinkling bells and snapping whips, and the pretty maiden watched them from the entrance to the department store, and her ideas quite lost their balance and toppled over Into the mad whirl of carnival. "I'm glad I'm lost," she said to her self; "they'll know I was separated from them by the crowd and they'll be fearfully worried, but after awhile they'll lind me, and meantime I. feel as if something were going to happen—a wild adventure perhaps. Oh, I love I carnival. I'm glad I came." A drum throbbed subtly in the dis tance, the crowd surged to the edge of the banquette, then surged back again with easy laughter, for 110 parade ap peared. . I "Ah," said some one at the pretty [ maiden's elbow. "I beg your pardon, 1 but I thought I was never going to find you. The crowd is so thick." The pretty maiden stared. A young man, clean shaven and eminently pre sentable, was regarding her, hat in hand. "I'm afraid you don't remember me," he suggested, a trifle crestfallen. "Isn't this Miss PrestonV" The pretty maiden's eyes widened. •To herself she cried, "The adventure!" but aloud she said quite coolly: "I'm afraid the advantage Is yours." "I'm sorry," he answered stiflly. "But please don't think me an Imperti nent stranger. My cousin wrote ine to meet you here, you and your sister. She asked me to show you around for the parade. I—my name is Robert Ran dolph," Jie liuished awkwardly. The pretty maiden hesitated a bare moment, but the carnival spirit was strong within her, and the trick that In her natural environment would have been impossible unfolded Itself like magic In this atmosphere. The moment was a bare one—then— "Oh," she said, with the friendliest smile imaginable, "you are Hobby Ran dolph?" "Of course," he agreed cheerfully. "It's been a great while since we saw ench other, but still"— "So it has," said the pretty maiden cunningly. "Let me see, Just how loug exactly?" "Just ten years," said Mr. Randolph; "ten years, three months, seven days, two hours and, I think, twenty-seven minutes." "Dear me," she murmured breath lessly. "And, by the way, where's your sis ter? Didu't she come?" "My sister? said the pretty maiden, quite astonished. "My sister? Oh—er —yes, of course she came. But she lmd a fearful headache, and she decid ed to stay at the hotel, and I hate to miss the parade, you see." "Of course. Too bad she won't see it," said Mr. Randolph regretfully. "The trip was so long and tiresome," said the pretty maiden incautiously. "Two hours' long I I like that. Why, It's only forty-eight miles between hero and Pass Christian." "Distance," said the pretty maiden sententiously, "is not a matter of miles —with me, at least," she added pru dentl}'. "Well, we can have a jolly time by ourselves, anyhow," Mr. Randolph as sured her. The pretty maiden hesitated—that Is, she would haye hesitated.. Uut Mr."Ran dolph's cheerful confidence left her 110 room to do so. They walked on rather slowly, for the crowd was dense, and Mr. Ran dolph's shoulders acted as a buffer more than once. "We'll have time togo and get somo hot chocolate before Rex gets here," lie calculated cheerfully. "Look out there, will you?" This last to a line of collcgo boys who were going through the crowd like an animated wedge. The pretty maiden laughed deli clously. "You looked so angry," she explain cd between gasps, then slopped sud denly because a small red devil, with battered mask, aimed a shower of con fetti at her laughing face. There was a blare of trumpet! ilown the street and the long roll of a drum. A wave of excitement submerged the people. Randolph used shoulders and elbows with a skill that bespoke long experience on the football field, and tlio pretty maiden found herself In the front of the crowd. Mounted policemen paced slowly past her, a band shrilling forlh "If Ever I Cease to Love," and then Rex and his cohorts. The pretty maiden dimpled and blush ed from sheer delight at the gorgeous spectacle, and the capering maskers on the fantastic floats repaid her interest. 0110 threw her a great fragrant buucli of violets, which she clasped with both hands like an excited child; another tossed an armlrt of brass; a third a box of Fnjiieh sweets, until young Ran dolph was hugely protid of her. Then, whoa ilia last silver towur and shim mering veil had melted down the street, he swung her Into the crowd again, her checks pink with excitement and the great purple violets nestling In the furs under her pretty chin. "Now let's have that chocolate," said Mr. Randolph. The}' found a corner in a pretty tea room, and he dispatched a waiter for their order, whilo the room tilled steadily. "Do you know,"he said, "you ve changed somehow?" The urettv maiden came back with a start to the fact that Mr. Randolph was not a lifelong friend. "Have I?" she asked safely. "Yes," he repeated, "somehow you've changed. You always were pretty, you know, and I always was your abject slave, but now"— "I've changed?" asked the pretty maiden mournfully. "You're so—so much more so," he ex plained lucidly. "Vou remember," asked Mr. Ran dolph presently, "how we used to love each other when you wore ton and I was fourteen V" "We didn't," she said, with a start. "Oh, nonsense! You cried your eyes out when I left for school. And you said you'd marry me when you grew up—and when we said goodby—you 1 kissed uio.*' "I did nothing of the sort," cried the pretty maiden, very pink and furious. "You've forgotten,*' said Mr. Ran dolph. "There's no reason why you should be ashamed of It. A childish affection is the most sincere—and you certainly were fond of me," he finished tamely. "I've changed very much," said the pretty maiden, thoughtfully selecting a macaroon from the plate of cakes. "I'm sorry /'.said Mr. Randolph sim ply, "because you're even nicer than you used to be." "I want to tell you something," she said. "I'm not Miss Preston—l never saw you before. I'm here for the car nival, and I lost my people in the crowd this morning; and then you caino and—l know it was horrid of me" "Well," said Mr. Itandolph stliHy. "Well, it was just a lark," she plead ed defiantly, "and won't 3*oll please go —now—hurry, please." The pretty maiden had seen her mother and father across the room. "If you wish it, of course," said Mr. Itandolph with most unreasonable dig- I nity. "I think you better," she said, and fairly pushed him away, and In a mo ment she turned to her father nnd mother with indignation in her eye. "Well, you lost me," she said with hypocritical anger, "for two whole hours, and I'm nearly starved." The pretty maiden and her parents dined with friends that night, and the pretty maiden went into dinner with Mr. Itandolph, to her unbounded sur prise. Mr. Itandolph looked a similar feeling. Then they both laughed. "The world isn't so large after all," she said. "My world," said Mr. Randolph, "comes only just up to my shoulder." A Malay Water Slide. In Pcrak, a state In the Straits Set tlements, the Malays have one form of amusement which is probably not to be enjoyed anywhere else in the wide worlil. There is a huge granite slope in the course of a mountain river, down which the water trickles about two inches deep, the main stream having carved out a bed by the side of the bowlder. This rock, the face of which has been rendered as smooth as glass by the con stant How of water duriug hundreds of years, the Malays—men, women and children—have turned into a toboggan. Climbing to the top of the rock, they sit in the shallow water with their feet straight out and" a hand on each sido for steering and then sii4o down the sixty feet into a pool of watt:*. This is a favorite sport on sunny mornings, as many as 200 folks being engaged at a time and sliding so quick ly one after another or forming rows of two, four or even persons that they tumble into the pool a confused mass of screaming creatures. There is little danger in the game, and, though some choose to sit on a piece of plau tain, most of the tobogganers are con tent to squat 011 their haunches. A Cult In riilnn. A cult in china and a craze for china are not synonymous, but they can lay claim to have the same foundation, and both have antiquity and very good people to back them—yes, and to refer to as having withstood the jests and caricatures of wits and artists ever since the Egyptians burned tiles on the? Nile. Hogarth, Charles Lamb, Sydney Smith and J)a!zac have all made their mark with brush or pen on this faisel natiug fad of fashionable women, and, to the writer's credit be it said, they have each shown a very well consid ered acquaintance with the matter, and the china lias always been bene fited by their interest. Charles Lamb was not ashamed to confess to an "almost feminine par tiality for old china,"and he didn't mind admitting that when lie visited any great house he inquired first fcr the china closet and next foi* the pic ture gallery. China jars and saucer.? have a way of kodaking themselves upon my memory, and their features yes, and their histories—interest me as they did "Cousin Pons." A I'ulillnhor'N Utile Joke. In Twenty Years Ago it is related that when one of Dowling's Christmas tales had sold very well Tinsley, the publisher, thought ho might be par doned for "taking a rise" out of the author. lie introduced Dowllng to a stranger at the (Jaycty and then wills peied to him: "Dick, uiy boy. do your best to make yourself agreeable to our friend. lie Is the largest buyer of [ thoae Christmas stories of yours. I j must be oft'." [ Dowling spoke for awhile on gen ! oral topics to the stranger, and at la it | he ventured 011 the subject of books. | "I suppose you know,"he said, "that I am the unfortunate man who wrote Tinsloy's last annualV" "Yes, I recog nize your name, Mr. Dowling," said the stranger. "Mr. Tinsley tells 1110 you are a largo buyer of books," said Dowling. "Yes, I l>uy a lot of stuff of one bind or another. lam a waste pa per merchant." nintre.n* Sitfnnl* at Sen. When ships at sea are in want of provisions and starving the signal used is a pendant with a ball underneath. Should the signal be reversed—i. e., ball uppermost—lt would signify that the vessel addressed was running into danger. If a ball should be hoisted superior to a large'square flag it would denote that the cargo is on fire or ship leaking and requires immediate assist ance. All "distant signals" are an swered by hoisting a ball at ship's masthead or masthead of signal staff 011 shore and arc used at all tiir.o3 when the colors of a ship's flag cannot be distinguished.

The movements of the legs react upon the trunk and tend to rotate it in ornate directions about, a vertical axis. P>et the swinging of the arms, each in unison with the opposite leg, produces an opposing mechanical cou ple, the effect of which is to rotate the trunk in the other direction, thus bal ancing, in part at least, the rotating action of the logs.

His Legislative Career Shows a Continuous Course of Iniquity and An Unbroken Record of Obedience to the Bosses —Voted For AH the Vicious Legisla tion of the Gang and Against All Measures For the People. [Concluded From Last Week.] The Session of 1005. J. Lee Plummer's abject subserviency to the machine in the contested elec tion cases disposed of during the ses sion of 190'] made him a prime favor ite at the beginning of the session of 1905. During the two previous sessions, 1 Ward B. Bliss, of Delaware county, 1 had been chairman of the committee on appropriations, admittedly the most important position in the Legislature rrom a machine standpoint, with tne possible exception of the Speakership. According to precedent. Mr. Bliss,.hav ing been re-elected, stood to succeed himself, with Mr. McClain, of Lancas ter, the fittest man in the body, meas ured by experience ami ability for the office, first in the line of succession. Shortly before the session opened, how ever, Mr. liliss died, and Plummer was jumped over McClain's head into the coveted position. Few outside of those intimately as sociated with legislation understand the vast power for good or evil vest ed In the chairmanship of the house committee on appropriations. He is in 1 fact in control of the purse-strings of j the Commonwealth, and supported ly ! a well-disciplined machine can dispose { of the revenues of the State almost at ! his pleasure. For years it has been i one of the principal sources of revenue 1 for the machine, the rake-off from ap- ! proprlatlons to charitable and educa- ! tional institutions amounting to a vast sum each session. But to make this graft available, it is necessary to have an absolutely obedient and entirely conscienceless man at the head of the committee. In the contested election cases, Mr. McClain showed that he couldn't be depended upon, and Pium mcr proved that he could. Therefore, Plummer was taken. State Charities Perverted. The record of the appropriation:! committeo of the last Legislature is so notorious and rotten that it's hard ly worth while to cite it in detail. The managers of every charity in the State know how their recommenda- 1 tions were ignored, the members of the committeo remember how they were slighted, and the general public has come to understand that political ex pediency rather than the merits of in stitutions or the necessities of the wnrds of the Commonwealth was con sulted in dispensing the charities. Rep resentative Hays, of Butler county, a lifelong Republican and member of the committee, openly charged Chairman Plummer with usurping authority and betraying public interests by shaping the appropriations to serve the politi cal machine rauior than the interests of the people. Plummer was silent under the accusation because he knew it could be proved. His relationship to other vicious leg islation of the session of 1905 may well be examined by the voters who ire asked to entrust him with a closer as sociation with the treasures of the State, it can be said without fear of contradiction that he supported with voice, vote or personal solicitation every iniquitious measure considered during the s.i in and that in- didn't vote for a single measure in the inter est of the people unless it was some trifle which the machine consented to as a sort of sop to the reform whale. For example: He voted against a resolution in structing Pennsylvania Senators, and requesting our Representatives in Con gress to vote for the legislation ad vocated by President Roosevelt pro hibiting discrimination in freight ! charges and the payment of rebates. Legislative Record, pages 200-204. Against Personal Registration. He voted against the resolution offer ed by Mr. Sheats, of Philadelphia, to discharge the elections committee from the further consideration of his personal registration bill for cities of the State. Legislative Record, pages 977-78. The measure had been held in committee so long that the purpose to smother it stood revealed, and the ob ject of the motion was to put it on the calendar in order that it might have a rhance of passing. Mr. Plum mer and most of the Republicans der orders from the machine managers voted against the motion and defeated it. * He dodged the vote on the resolu tion offered by Mr. Creasy to put the bill allowing trolley railrads to carry freight on the calendar. Legislative Record, pages 2219-22. That neasuro was also being stifled In committee by machine orders. He voted against the resolution offer ed by Mr. Scofleld, Republican, of Clearfield, to take the employers' lia bility out of the committee on Judiciary ( general and place It on the calendar. , Legislative Record, pages 2224-27. This ■ bill was advocated by the United Mine , Workers and other labor organizations, ar«l Is already In successful and satis- | factory operation in a number of i States. % The Infamous Vice Bille. He voted for the atrocious Puhl bill. Legislative Record, pages 1039-40. This measure was designed to de- ; ptroy the Philadelphia Law and Order i JHodety.

For several years it had been the only agency to repress vice, and its activities were in some measure menacing the prosperity of the odious partnership. The society operated through deputy c onstables ap pointed by friendly Magistrates. The constables operated under the direction of agents of the society, and without consultation with the police. The Puhl bill required all such organizations to make public all Its movements, Includ ing its sources of revenue, the obvious purpose being to enable the police de partment to "tip off" the criminals all contemplated raids, and «punish those who contributed to the funds of the society as unfriendly and venal police authorities can. He voted for two of the infamous Ehrhardt bills, and dodged the vote on the other. Legislative Record, pages 1080-81; 1414-15. These monstrous measures wore In tended to protect the "white slave" I dealers in Philadelphia. A number of miscreants had formed a syndicate to I recruit for the brothels of that city and New York. Their method was to ! send agents into the country towns | and to the ports of entry where, under promise of lucrative employment, they i would induce attractive country girls and likely immigrant girls to accom pany them to the dens of vice and crime. Once there, there was no es cape, and they were starved or coerced into lives of shame. The Law and Order Society having obtained infor mation of this most awful iniquity, set about to break it up. The deputy constables were invoked and several arrests made. The Ehrhardt bills pro- . hibltod deputy constables from serv ; Ing warrants unless they were coun- , tersigned by the Superintendent of Po lice, the purpose being to notify any of the "white slave" dealers when war rants were issued against them so that tbey could escape arrest. Plummer was fully informed of the nature of those infamous bills as well as the object of them, but he support ed them nevertheless. Other Votes Inimical to Public Interest He voted for the Quay monument in capital park. Legislative Record, page 2202. He dodged the vote on the bill abol ishing fees for District Attorneys and substituting stated salaries. Legisla tive Recdfa. page 2324. He voted for all the Philadelphia "ripper" bills. Legislative Record, pages 3027-35. He voted for the freak libel bill in troduced at the instance of Mr. Oiler, of Pittsburg. Legislative Record, pages 391 J); 3057-58. He dodged the vote on the bill giving privileges to the paper trust in Penn sylvania that are not enjoyed by other foreign corporations. Legislative Rec ord. pages 818-51. He spoke and voted against the amendment to the general appropria tion bill, offered by Mr. Creasy, in creasing the appropraltion lor town ship high schools from SIOO,OOO to $200,- 000. Republic an Floor Manager Mc- Clain and ethers supported ihe meas ure. and tin day after its defeat the machine bosses compelled Plummer to move a reconsideration of the vote, and stultify himself by an apology for .his blunder. Even Durham and Pen rose wouldn't stand for such lolly. There i? no record of the vote on the motion of Mr. Dunsmore, of Tioga county, inn-earing the r.ge limit in the odious Judges' retirement bill from 70 years to 90, bat. as that bill was a ma chine measure, and as Plummer had voted for the Judges' salary increase at the previous session. It may ba pre sumed that he voted with the other servile tools of the machine against the amendment. It was adopted, how- I ever, and the iniquitous bill was sub sequently laughed off the calendars. ' DR. WESTON 1$ FOR BERRY The Venerable Theologian Congratu lates Candidate On His Speeches. The religious world, as it is repre sented in Pennsylvania, is concerned in the pending political campaign more than usual.

Whether the officers mentioned by Mr. Whlnton in his "History of An trim" (New Hampshire) regarded their position seriously and lived up to their official dignity is not told. It Is certain that the small boys would have hailed the opportunity of exercising sucli functions with glee and would have discharged their duties witli vigor and alacrity. In 1703 the town of Antrim officially appointed three responsible persous to fill the position of dog pelters. It was their duty to sit near the meeting house door and to pelt, drive away or cane any dogs that dared to enter the sa cred edifice. In the official records of the town are lound votes of subse quent years, continuing the vocation of the dog pelters. One might question which would make the most disturbance In the church, the chance dog or the pelters in the exercise of their official duties. WISDOM'S WHISPERS.
